The charges against the teens stemmed from about 1 p.m. Jan. 12 when a 61-year-old woman told police her purse was snatched from her outside Coastal Grand Mall, police said.

The victim told officers she was walking to her vehicle when someone came up behind her, grabbed her purse and they struggled over it, according to the report. The victim said she was pulled to the ground, which caused minor injuries to her knees and foot.

The victim said the suspect got into a dark blue SUV and a witness tried to stop the vehicle, but it sped away, according to the report. The witness said he stepped in front of the vehicle and put his hands on the hood, but the driver kept moving toward him so he stepped to the side.
